Interestingly the Archdeaconry of Norfolk Registered Wills are restricted to FHCs [Family History Centres] but the Original Wills, which they only have to about 1704, appear accessible. I wonder if its a mistake so could well become restricted when they realise.

I read this several times before I understood it. I've added the things I didn't initially understand, in the hope that it will help others as ignorant as I.

Sounds like the right film for the first will. But the folio and will numbers simply don't tie up.

The last folio number for film 008077068 (644 images) is 163, and the last will number is 95.

So I'm doing something very wrong.

Hi, I've just found this post, and seem to be having the same problem with this film on familysearch.org.

I'm trying to find a will in this section: Regd. copy wills, v. 115-116 1782-17851733818077068

but the images coming up are from 1740-1747, from DGS 8077058, rather than the intended 8077068 from 1782-1785.

I just wondered if you'd managed to work out if the correct images are hiding somewhere on their site, or if anyone else has any insight. It's very frustrating!

Thank you

Ah, thank you! I haven't quite worked out the vagaries of the CLDS website, and hadn't realised I could search via film number. I must have been following an erroneous link within their website last night. Your link took me directly where I wanted. Much appreciated
